"Lift Me Up" is a song by English singer-songwriter Geri Halliwell. It was released on 1 November 1999 as the third single from Halliwell's debut solo album Schizophonic. It debuted and peaked at number-one in the UK Singles Chart, winning the chart battle against fellow Spice Girls member Emma Bunton's "What I Am" by 33,000 copies. The music video was directed by Howard Greenhalgh and filmed in October 1999 in Málaga, Spain. To promote the single, Halliwell performed the song on Top of the Pops, Pepsi Chart, Musica Si and National Lottery.

The single was released on 1 November 1999, along with Tin Tin Out's collaboration with previous Spice Girls group mate Emma Bunton's debut, "What I Am". Halliwell criticised record company executives for allegedly exploiting fans by encouraging the head-to-head race. "Lift Me Up" reached number one in the UK Singles Chart on 13 November 1999, selling 140,000 copies in its first week, 30,000 more copies than "What I Am". Its total sales are 341,768 copies in the United Kingdom, and the single enjoyed a fifteen-week run in the UK chart.
